The danger isn't in the "destruction" of the economy, as it is within the control of human beings and has historically always survived in one form or another. However, if it turns out that the hypothesis regarding the human contribution to global climate change is *right*, then the economy is completely irrelevant. So... what do you see as the rational course of action? First off let me rephrase to the destruction of the economy AS WE KNOW IT. The economy "as we know it" is in constant flux. It is not "as I knew it" 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, and is almost unrecoginizable from 40 years ago considering that we were not owned lock stock and barrel by foriegn investors then. We somehow survive, as "the economy" is adaptable and resilient. The same cannot be said about an ecosystem that will no longer support human life. Neil |
